Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra Tickets

The Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra (BSO) has been enriching Central California with world-class classical music since the early 1930s. Officially established as the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra in 1933 after its founding in 1932, the ensemble has grown into a cornerstone of the region’s cultural landscape. Under the artistic leadership of Music Director Stilian Kirov since the 2015–2016 season, contracted through 2026, BSO brings a dynamic blend of traditional masterworks and contemporary scores to life for audiences of all ages.

For the 2025–26 season, the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra returns to the Dignity Health Theater & Convention Center (1001 Truxtun Ave, Bakersfield, CA 93301) for a modern concert experience, pairing intimate performances with grand orchestral statements. In addition to mainstage concerts, the BSO runs educational programs like BSO Next and Young People’s Concerts, helping to foster the next generation of concertgoers. The orchestra also embraced virtual offerings during the 2020 COVID-19 period and reemerged with live performances in fall 2021, continuing its mission to deliver accessible, impactful music to the Bakersfield community.

Whether you’re seeking a Beethoven program, a signature Great Classics evening, or the cinematic excitement of Epic Scores (The Music of John Williams), the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra offers engaging programming that speaks to both traditional classical fans and new listeners alike. Secure your seats for upcoming performances and experience the craft, musicianship, and community that define the BSO.
